Very well written and clearly it shows that you are the father of OoC, because you talk to it like it's you son, and that Flux, it's amazing!
To everyone in the team, content creators, moderators, developers and you Flux, you guys made the best Hearthstone site, and soon enough you'll make the best card game site.
Really proud of all of you!
If only the dollar wasn't so high in my country I would support you, since I can't, I disable ADBlock when I enter the site, lol.
ShadowsOfSense has started to ease into the shoes I have filled for Hearthstone content and community, a pair I’ve worn for over 6 years. You saw extra content during our card reveal period that focused on reviewing and discussing the cards not only thanks to our wonderful content team, but Shadows’ lead in letting us do that for the first time ever.
If you don't mind me saying, quite noticeable. Some really good content :)
I know that it may be a bit too much, but have you considered Platebreaker? It's rare, but possible for the opponent to get over 80 health, which is a max burst for this deck. And wouldn't be Eater of Secrets be better than Kezan Mystic?
I have been playing a bit of Quest Hunter. It's very possibly a meta breaker depending on what the meta is like at the moment. Expect to see more of this deck soon.
Great job with the site all around. You nailed down a clean visual style from the start that made it way more appealing than Hpwn, even during those few weeks when the google ads went wacky. I'm really looking forward to what you and the team are tackling this year.
I have been experimenting with Quest Hunter decks since the release of SoU, when I get bored of playing meta decks and I am most definitely gonna try those lists.
Thanks a lot for all the work you and your amazing team are doing. I believe you already know that, but I can't stress enough, how important for the community to have you guys working on this site.
If we're talking purely from a monetary point of view, Patreon is better because it is a reliable source of income and more likely to give the site more money on a per user basis. Ads have so much variability, it isn't easy to say if it would be more beneficial for us for any particular user to have them subscribe or just use the site the way they normally do with ads enabled, though it certainly could be possible.
Calling it 'trouble' would be making a mountain out of a molehill to say the least, but it is reflective of how great you and the rest of the OoC team are! Hopefully the revenue streams prove enough in the long run, since the fresh start has been a great improvement so far.
After we're sustainable, the main question becomes how can we use extra revenue to grow even more. There are a lot of things that we could do for the card game community as a whole, and more dedicated people on the staff is always going to be a good goal to reach.
On a more charity note though, I always love the "random" charity events held in the gaming community throughout the year. I think it would be really cool to get some awesome people together to do something similar, using the platform for a good cause. Not something we can immediately jump into, but it has definitely crossed my mind.
Glad to hear things are continuing to move in a positive direction. I've loved this site's community and staff from day 1. Thanks so much to all of you for putting together an amazing place for not just Hearthstone, but CCGs of all kind!
I looked into this and have deployed a fix. There were a couple of oddities with some people not getting proper credit and it looks like this should be the last case covered. So sorry for the trouble!
If you end up stopping your support on Patreon in the future, please reach out and I'll credit your account with extra supporter time. The same goes for anyone else who has had issues and I can verify that it is the case.

I don't think I ever cared about ads(no add block), so they don't seem that bothersome to me, but it's good to have an option to not have those.
The site has grown a long way from HearthStation, that's for sure. Good luck with staying afloat, guys.

Emptyness, thanks so much for your support! I feel like a broken record every time I say it, but I really do mean it.
Everyone has been so awesome with the site and I can't wait to give everyone more fun stuff to play with.

Thank you so much for your support over the years Wolfgang!
Definitely plan on doing more "insightful" stuff as time permits and there is interesting enough stuff to talk about, so I'm glad you like the format.

Not likely, at least not publicly. This should be both Standard and Wild together.

Iksar said himself that it was just a quick photoshop pic he did, nothing fancy. So you should take it as such ;-)
